DISINFO: Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and Ukraine are implementing US provocations against Belarus

SUMMARY

West will not allow Belarus to be a sovereign and independent state. The US and its secret service are behind all provocations against Minsk. Politicians are creating the agenda, secret service implementing it. In the implementations of the measures (against Belarus and president Alyaksandr Lukashenka) also participate other countries: Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, partly Latvia.

RESPONSE

Recurring disinformation about West plotting against Belarus.

Western countries have no plans to harm the independence or sovereignty of Belarus but have to react to events in Belarus, including oppression against civil society and for example, the forced landing of Ryanair flight FR4978 in Minsk on 23 May 2021.

The EU did not recognise the falsified results of the Belarusian Presidential election on 9 August 2020 or the new mandate claimed by Alyaksandr Lukashenka.

The EU imposed new restrictive measures against the Belarusian regime to respond to the escalation of serious human rights violations in Belarus and the violent repression of civil society, democratic opposition and journalists, as well as to the forced landing of a Ryanair flight in Minsk on 23 May 2021 and the related detention of journalist Raman Pratasevich and Sofia Sapega.

However, the EU continues to support the Belarusian people and civil society and outlined a 3 billion EUR economic support package to a future democratic Belarus.
